Accompanied by the boy's screams, the group of four entered the dense forest.

The forest looks very big from the outside, but in fact it is just a cover-up. After the road is opened, it only takes ten minutes to pass.

After leaving the forest, there is a broad mountain scenery in front of you. Next to the intersection of a ten thousand-foot staircase leading to the mountain, there is a stone tablet with the calm and simple words "Guwujie" written on it.

A line of small letters below issued a warning: Those who are not ancient warriors must enter at their own risk.

It sounds like a tourist attraction where you can't visit without a ticket.

Yao'er, who had only lived on the island and had never seen the mountain peaks, stopped fussing about going back now. He came over to look at the stone tablet, then pointed at himself and said: "Hey, I don't know how to do ancient martial arts." Yes, wouldn’t it be easy to come in?”

He wanted to say that this monument was just superficial, but the next second he was slapped on the back of his head.

"You ignorant boy, if you take it lightly, you are worried about your life." The old kid not only patted him, but also held his ears and pointed at the mountains in front of him and said: "Back then, the ancestors ate the ancient warriors and brought outsiders in. In the end, it led to a disaster, so this climbing ladder not only has tens of thousands of steps, but there are also countless poisonous insects and beasts, countless traps, and white bones are buried under the wild flowers on the mountain road."

Yao'er, who was just joking, was immediately frightened to death when he heard this. He cried and begged for mercy, "Then I'd better not go in. How about I wait for you here."

He was really curious about Lao Gaizi's hometown before, but he didn't expect it to be more dangerous than the mysterious island. Now he regretted following him.

But the old kidnapper, who had been doting on him since he was a child, had a particularly tough attitude this time. Without saying a word, he grabbed him and walked to the ladder. No matter how hard the latter struggled, it was in vain.

The mountain road is winding, and the forest is filled with mist. The air becomes thinner as you go higher.

After walking up a thousand steps, Yao'er felt a little exhausted.

"This is just a cover-up. The terrain is not very high. It is just an illusion created by man-made barriers."

The old kid explained from the sidelines, but Yao'er, who was already dead from exhaustion, didn't believe it at all.

In the end, Wu Heng, who was physically strong, could only carry him first.

After waiting for a while, he came down and continued walking, but he said with emotion: "Old kid, no wonder you said that your sect is poor. Even if there are gods and gods living in such deep mountains and forests, the private jets and luxury cars of those rich people are still there. I can’t drive in.”

The people he saw most on the Mysterious Island were the rich, and he was most aware of the lazy nature of the rich.

The old kid was poked at the sore spot, and for a moment he looked sad again. He touched his adopted little apprentice and sighed: "Don't worry, even if you stay, I will save the rations for you in the future."

After hearing his plan, Yao'er lowered his head and curled his lips.

He didn't want to steal the old man's food. If so, he might as well stay in the cave.

Ye Lan, who was at the back, listened to the conversation between the two, and the silence was deafening.

Wu Heng, who was beside him at this moment, hesitated and asked, "Is the Wu family you mentioned earlier also that poor?"

Ye Lan: "..."

Seeing that she didn't speak, Wu Heng seemed to have figured out the answer in his head, pursed his lips and said: "In that case, I don't want to go back. Can I just follow you? I can hand out flyers and clean up."

Ye Lan: "..."

She really wanted to know what TV series the three of them watched yesterday, and why they were so obsessed with handing out flyers and cleaning the house.

But fortunately, Wu Heng listened to the advice, so she mentioned it, "I haven't seen the Wu family for a long time, but their living conditions are probably not too bad."

After all, it is a big family that has been around for thousands of years. Even if it is hidden from the world, the heirs will not be asked to hand out leaflets...

Wu Heng's expression softened after hearing this.

Like the two masters and apprentices before him, he had suffered from hunger in the mountains since he was a child, and he paid great attention to the issue of eating.

However, "Are there really no outsiders coming in here? What if I need help?" He was a little curious. After all, humans have to make a living. Even in Fairy Mountain, there are many people waiting at the entrance every day for Master to accommodate them and send patients. Come and heal.

The ancient warriors were powerful, so they should have a lot of desires from those in power.

Now that the young mathematician is out of the same sect, Ye Lan also answers all questions, "The superiors naturally have contact codes. They can't come in, but the ancient warriors can go out."

No one stipulates that you can only go in but not go out. After all, money can make all the difference in this world. The rich use money to lay out a red carpet to invite ancient warriors to come out, but few people can not be tempted.

"..." Wu Heng realized that he had asked a stupid question and was silently embarrassed.

"In the past, there were rich people who did not believe in evil and led elite teams into the mountains, hoping to see the scenery of the ancient martial arts world and explore its secrets. However, before they were halfway up the ladder, everyone was dead." Ye Lan calmly talked about some of the ancient martial arts world. The history of the city was so familiar that the old kid in front couldn't help but look back.

"These are all old things. I heard my master mention it. I didn't expect Ye Xiaoyou to know about it." He became more and more curious about the unpredictable girl in front of him. Even during the heyday of the ancient martial arts world, which was once known as a place full of geniuses. , I have never seen such a unique temperament.

"I've heard a little bit." Ye Lan didn't mean to hide it, but the situation was delicate now. She didn't return to the sect because she wanted to find out who wanted to get involved in the ancient martial arts world.

The simple test between the two was not noticed by others.

In order to divert attention, Yao'er also joined the discussion, "Isn't there no need to set up identity checks? Anyway, rich people and people with ulterior motives can't pass the ladder."

"It's like this." Old Guaizi turned around and said with a little pride: "Not to mention climbing the ladder, even the mountain forest at the entrance cannot be broken by non-cultivation practitioners. Practitioners in the outside world often have weak foundations and cannot climb the ladder. What's more, Needless to say, the pampered rich people. So as long as you pass the ladder, you will only talk about the sect and not about the outside world, and no one will care. "

A different set of laws operates here.

When Wu Heng and Yao'er heard this, they understood the reason why Ye Lan dared to bring them two outsiders in openly.

However, "Apart from the fact that this ladder is tiring and lacks oxygen at high altitudes, there is nothing special about it." Yao'er looked at the lush, fairyland-like jungle everywhere and thought it was quite beautiful. He didn't feel any other dangers, so he grinned and was offended. Said: "When I get halfway through, I will be better than the elite bodyguards of the rich."

Having said this, he stepped forward two steps harder, acting like a leader.

Then his feet suddenly hit the ground as if he had kicked a stone, and immediately his body was empty. The feeling of weightlessness suddenly hit his heart.

"Be careful."

Fortunately, the old kid was not far away. He took two steps and grabbed his collar to stop him from falling down.

snoring...

The stone that was kicked seemed to fall into an extremely distant space, and there was a faint echo.

Yao'er slowly looked down and almost knelt down in fear.

I saw that the climbing ladder in front of me suddenly broke and turned into a dark canyon with no bottom. The faint mountain wind blew up from the bottom, bringing with it an eerie coolness.

You can imagine how tragic his death would have been if he hadn't stopped the car and fell.
